Abstract excerpt
The N-terminal lectin domain (Nh) of the tandem repeat-type nematode galectin LEC-1 has a lower affinity for sugars than the C-terminal lectin domain. To confirm that LEC-1 forms a complex with N-acetyllactosamine-containing glycoproteins, we used several mutants of LEC-1 in which a unique cysteine residue was introduced into the Nh domain and examined their binding to bovine asialofetuin with a photoactivatable...
